Body Image and Emotional Eating as Predictors of Psychological Distress Following Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to shed light on the ambiguity concerning the variables affecting psychological distress following bariatric surgery, specifically the roles of body image dissatisfaction (BID) and emotional eating in detecting and predicting such outcomes.
methodsOf 169 consecutive bariatric surgery candidates from a university-based bariatric center, who participated in the psychosocial pre-surgery survey from 2015 to 2017 (67% females, mean age 41.8 years (SD = 11.46), mean body mass index (BMI) 42.0 kg/m
resultsPost-surgery improvements were observed in body image and emotional eating total measures, as well as in percent total weight loss (TWL%) and percent excess weight loss (EWL%), but not in psychological distress outcomes. However, improvement in BID predicted better post-surgery in all the psychological distress outcomes whereas improvement in emotional eating predicted less post-surgery depression. Post-surgery BID positively correlated with depression and anxiety, whereas post-surgery emotional eating positively correlated with anxiety.
conclusionsWeight loss is insufficient to determine a change in psychological distress following surgery. Physicians and other health professionals who treat bariatric surgery patients should be encouraged to asses BID pre- and post-surgery, as it is a sensitive indicator of improvement of psychological well-being after surgery.
